Music and Music Technology BA (Hons)

Our BA Music and Music Technology course specialises in both music and music technology, and allows you to pursue other areas of musical interest.<br/><br/>The core of the course balances modules focused on music technology, electronic and computer music, with those drawing on musics from a range of genres, styles, cultures, and geographic locations to explore key concepts, theories and approaches. You’ll develop your skills as a creative, critical and reflective thinker, gaining the tools and experience needed to be an independent worker, musician and music technologist, ready for life after university.<br/><br/>You can personalise your course in all years by choosing optional modules from a broad range of areas – including aesthetics, analysis, contemporary composition, film music, the music business, musicology, music psychology, performance (solo and collaborative) and popular music – enabling you to shape your degree to fit your interests and ambitions.<br/><br/>You’ll study with academics who are experts in their fields, receive support from a dedicated technical team, and take lessons with a visiting professional specialist if you study solo performance. Across your course, you’ll engage with the latest research, explore a range of theoretical, creative and practical aspects of music and music technology, and develop a set of valuable subject-specific and transferrable skills.<br/><br/>You’ll have opportunities to work independently and collaboratively, developing your skills and knowledge in contexts that extend beyond the University environment. All these elements combine to provide you with an exciting and dynamic educational experience that’s unique to Leeds.
